History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War initiated a protracted conflict, leading to Israel's establishment and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency was formed to aid Palestinian refugees, now numbering approximately 5.7 million. Recent escalations, including airstrikes in Gaza, reflect ongoing violence and humanitarian crises, prompting international calls for accountability and human rights.
